Open Live Screen Capture

To get started, open VideoStudio’s screen recorder, Live Screen Capture and you can then set the parameters to capture what you are looking for.
Define the area to record

First, you need to define the area of your screen to record. You can select fullscreen (default at launch), a select window you have open, or a highlight to define a custom area of your screen and adjust the area manually by pulling on the edges of the frame.
Choose settings

Next, we expand the settings menu to define your file name and location, audio settings, mouse click animations and more. By default, the program captures both your microphone/voiceover sound + your system audio. You can enable or disable these, or connect an external microphone to record from. If you connect an external microphone, select ‘Sound Check’ to identify the device, this will also let you check your voice to make sure you sound clear, professional and can be understood. In the settings menu, you can also identify the frame rate, file format, and enable or disable mouse click animations in your recording.
Start recording

The next step is to begin recording your screen, press the red record button. All activities inside the specified capture area will be recorded. Screen capture starts after the countdown. You can press F10 to stop your recording or F11 to pause or resume the screen capture. Click the STOP button to finish your screen capture. The file is automatically saved to your defined folder destination.
Edit your video

You want your viewers to have a great experience, so after you are finished recording your video, you can import the file to the VideoStudio timeline to edit your video (optional). Trim video, add titles, background music and more. Cut video into segments and join them together with smooth transitions. Re-record voiceover.
Save and Share

When you’re done, it’s time to save your results. Go to the Share tab, and export your video. You can choose to share it online via your website, blog, email, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social media sites. Or you can save it to your computer in popular file formats. Make sure that the size of your video is correct for the program you are using on.
